Hi, can someone tell me why I have had so much lag the past two weeks. At the moment I am gitting 1.3 FPS when it normally is 10 to 15. It does not make any difference which version of the viewer I use. Its so bad now that its impossible to do anything.
Thanks

Not a lot of info to go off of there. I would start by turning down your graphic setting in prefferences. If that does not help a complete removal (including the hidden cache folder) and a fresh install.
Good luck =) |

Thanks, had not thought about the complete wipe and reinstall. I don't really think anymore info would actually help. It was ok till two weeks ago, then suddenly, constant unending lag.
Update: Uninstalled and reinstalled. Even cleaned out the registry. Result is that now I only have 0.6 FPS. Lovely. The only difference between now and earlier is that more people are logged on now. |

Are you using the official SL viewer or the release candidate version?
For me I find the RC version runs a little better on my PC. Also if you have voice chat enabled disable it this can slow SL down a lot. |

What kind of computer are you running it on, what operating system, and what video drivers? It sounds like something to do with your video card is messed up badly.
Do you get that poor performance everywhere you go in SL? _____________________

Do you get that poor performance everywhere you go in SL? A Toshiba Satellite Pro, only a few months old. Drivers are intel. OS Vista (which is a pain, but it seems to manage the memory better). Yes its bad everywhere. The point is that the notebook is fine and it was all ok until a couple of weeks ago. Since then it has got steadily worse with regard to SL, but nothing else. I've had this kind of thing in the past, but it stops after maybe a week. |

Maybe try resetting the router, etc., and checking AV to put SL in "trusted" category. There's info on ports in the kb I think.
Is there anything you have changed in Vista? What fps do you consider ok in the history of this machine? Aero on or off? _____________________

OK, what I ended up doing is:
install the display driver again. No difference. do a restore from a few days ago. The FPS went from 0.9 to 4. wiped the notebook and reinstalled Vista. The FTP now at 10 to 15 as before. What have I learnt. Never install Microsoft updates ever again. |
